What is mold?

The simplest answer is that mold is a fungus. It's a plant-like organism
that can grow just about anywhere, including your home. It doesn't need
photosynthesis to live, so you may find it lurking in a dark, damp basement
or crawlspace, or even inside your walls. Mold spores are everywhere in
the air, indoor and outdoor (except the winter), and only become a problem
when the spore count is elevated higher inside your home than it is outside,
or you can visibly see it growing on the structure of your home or business.
Mold negatively impacts your indoor air quality, and can have lasting
effects on your health. Whether you simply suspect a mold problem, or
you can see it right in front of you, it is important to remediate the
problem as soon as you become aware of it.

Where does mold grow?

Mold needs moisture to grow. If you have a high concentration of moisture
in one area of the home, you may be growing a mold problem. Common moisture
prone areas include:

Bathrooms

Kitchens

Basements

Attics

Crawlspaces

On any organic material

Are you concerned about visible mold?

If your exterminator told you there is mold growing on the floor joists
in your crawlspace, your HVAC repairman discovered mold in your attic,
or you can see it creeping up the dry wall in your bathroom, you have
visible mold. As soon as its presence has become known, it's vital you
remedy the situation promptly. Call AdvantaClean of Ellis County today;
we're happy to discuss the situation with you and go over all your remediation options.

Do you smell a weird odor in your home?

A mold problem isn't always a visible problem. Sometimes the first warning
sign of non-visible mold is a strong musty or mildew smell. If you're
worried about mold lurking out of sight, consider having a mold inspection
or mold testing performed in your home before the problem gets out of hand.

Whether it's behind your walls, inside your ceiling or hidden below your
feet, a mold inspection or mold testing appointment allows us to find
where your mold problem lies. As soon as we've determined the location,
we can plan for its removal. If you've started noticing a mold or mildew
smell in your home, schedule an appointment right away, so we can help
you get to the bottom of the situation.

What are the health effects of mold?

Everyone has a different level of sensitivity to mold. One person in your
household may be highly allergic, while another hasn't noticed a single
symptom. If you or someone in your home is experiencing health problems,
it may be hard to know exactly where the symptoms are coming from, but
some symptoms to keep an eye on include:

Headaches

Congestion

Watery eyes

Coughing

If your household has noticed a sudden occurrence of these symptoms, or
an uptick in the severity, it may be time to schedule a mold inspection.
You should also pay attention to whether the symptoms lessen or go away
when you are not in the home, and return when you come home.

Choosing a mold remediation professional

When you notice or suspect a mold problem in your Waco home, find a company
that employs Certified Mold Inspectors (CMI) and Certified Mold Remediation
Consultants (CMR). Handymen and general contractors may think they can
handle a mold problem themselves, but if they are not trained and certified
in proper mold remediation processes, your problem may not fully go away
and may return. A reputable company like AdvantaClean of Ellis County
and Waco will only employ CMIs and CMRs who can successfully perform mold
testing, mold inspections, and mold removal the right way every time.
